ZIP POCKET BAG GREIGE

The NONA brand relies on slow fashion in a fast-paced modern world. It doesn’t recognise seasonal collections, instead focusing on limited editions of sophisticated accessories inspired by Japanese minimalism. Designed in a studio in Rotterdam, the handbags are created in collaboration with a small family-run workshop in Spain that still abounds with a rich tradition of leather craftsmanship and cutting-edge materials.

The brand’s founder Anona van der Linde believes that a handbag should naturally blend in with our bodies, just like a comfortable piece of clothing. That’s why the designers at Studio NONA strive to create handbags that are not only aesthetically unobtrusive, but also enjoyable to wear every day for years. By only creating handbags in a limited core collection, the brand can truly focus on ethical production, avoiding overproduction and wasted resources. The materials used, such as leather from Spain and cotton canvas from France, are carefully selected to minimise the carbon footprint associated with their transportation.

CARE

Patent leather: clean with a damp cotton cloth. You can use a clear wax or cream to treat parts of the bag that need extra attention, such as corners or parts you touch frequently. It is important to keep these parts flexible so that the painted coating does not crack. Rub the wax on the leather in circular motions into the bag using a cotton cloth.
